Kathy Griffin Gets Booed By U.S. Troops After Calling Bristol Palin Fat

(By Colby Hall, Mediaite) - Comedian and self-proclaimed “D-lister” Kathy Griffin hosted 'VH1 Divas Salute the Troops' which was taped for an audience of servicemen at the Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar, California, and aired last night. The ribald and unconventional comedian set the tone for the night when she joked about Bristol Palin and her supposed weight gain while competing with Dancing With The Stars. But the joke fell flat, as the military men and woman in attendance lustily booed the host for taking a shot at Sarah Palin’s daughter.
